Protection of Life During Pregnancy (Amendment) Bill 2017

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

Amends the 2013 pregnancy-life protection law in one narrow but important way: it reduces the penalty for the offence in section 22 to a fine of no more than €1. The practical effect would be to strip that offence of any meaningful punishment. It matters because it would sharply weaken enforcement of the existing law.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act 2013.
